Lady Day at Emerson at Orlando Shakes

I cant give you anything but loveIn this powerful musical production, youll laugh as much as you cry while Billie Holiday sings her most famous songs and reminisces about the great triumphs and losses of her life. The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness one of Billies last performancesfour months before her untimely death. With the help of her piano man, Jimmy Powers, she lets music tell her story, sharing soulful, heart-wrenching, and bawdy songs from her memorable canon including: Strange Fruit, God Bless the Child, When a Woman Loves a Man, and TAint Nobodys Business If I Do.
